Step 1: Install The Astra WordPress Theme

Why This Step Is Important

Every WordPress website requires a default WordPress “theme”. And for this course we will be using the Astra WordPress theme. We love Astra because it’s lightweight, easy to use, and designed to work well with the Elementor Page Builder (the page builder you will be using to build and design your website).
